dawn at the ditch

If I ever had a subtle bone in my body,

I obviously broke it, too.

Karen said...: it's so beautiful!! The composition, the light, the way my eye follows through it.; July 7, 2010 at 8:10 PM
cohen labelle said...: This is an elixir to my senses – it’s great – I love the sweep of the composition and the color, I could plunge into that heady blue right this instant!; July 7, 2010 at 10:03 PM
Melinda said...: Profoundly beautiful. You don't need subtle bones--you've got expressive ones!; July 7, 2010 at 10:45 PM
Sonya Johnson said...: Ooooh....I love this! Great colors and drama here.; July 8, 2010 at 8:34 AM
SamArtDog said...: Casey--It's reassuring to know The Godfather approves. :o)

Karen--It's a cheap ticket, so I'm very glad you enjoyed the ride.

Marcia--Thanks for appreciating the colors. But before jumping in, you should know it's an irrigation ditch, so the water is icy snowmelt.

Melinda--Good to hear you like my loud bones.

Sonya--Drama queens are never subtle, but they still like approval. Thanks!; July 8, 2010 at 9:00 AM
Double "D" said...: I THINK IT'S VERY SUBTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you hear me now? It is subtle in a SAMARTDOG kind of way. I think it's a beauty. Nice transition from front to back
and I always love the colors you use. Don't try to be something you aren't. Not sure what I would do if I saw you do something subtle. I would know you were sick and off your feed. Just stay the same as you are. K?????????????????; July 8, 2010 at 4:12 PM

"Don't try to be something you aren't." For sure, a mantra to live by. Don't ever want to be sick and off my feed. Har har.

Hope you're well and smiling.; July 8, 2010 at 5:22 PM
Celeste Bergin said...: moody---in a very good way. I want to follow that ditch to see where it winds up; July 8, 2010 at 11:26 PM
SamArtDog said...: Celeste--
You're right, and it's actually moodier that it appears here. Darker and a bit more muted. Sometimes, my camera can be a little too cheerful. In any case, I'm glad you like it. Your current workshop stuff is so great to see!; July 9, 2010 at 7:14 AM
Katherine van Schoonhoven said...: Great!! I love the way you shifted the light on the water as it moves back. Pretty nice for a ditch!! Well done!; July 9, 2010 at 11:13 PM
Sheila Vaughan said...: Beautifully dramatic Sam. Those colours are exotic! Is it pastel? I loved your photos above as well. Fascinated by the sea story.; July 12, 2010 at 2:53 AM
SamArtDog said...: Back home from Paris, Sheila? Yes, this is pastel; glad you like it.; July 12, 2010 at 9:07 AM
Lisa Daria said...: you got the vastness of this space - I like the perspective you chose too -; July 13, 2010 at 4:52 PM

I like your loose and lively paintings!; July 16, 2010 at 10:23 PM
